Which is a nightmare for searching and knowing where to post. Forums are still one of the best mediums for topics with multiple Branches
Look at xda and then reask that question. Subforums exist because some topics still fall under the same forum. Like android roms is a sub forum in xda, so its rooting phones. All the same umbrella but has different subforums.
This seems to be an issue with those who never used forums or grew up with them. They just want rolling topics over and over.
Which is what you might see, not what everyone else does. Old school forums are literally built so everyone is seeing the same layout, so that month old post that just got bumped, everyone is seeing it now.
Not to the point old school forums do. The sorting is one of the main things in a old school forum as it will bump a post to the top with a single comment. Subforums are also something you don’t have on reddit/lemmy scrolling aggregators.
Sorting and bumping. Lemmy and reddit and can never be a forum from the past. As all content is continually drowned out and replaced with new posts. So no it cant.
There is no proof of this and no the odds of this being why they didn’t leave is so low. Most people in small rural towns don’t have options of employment, so factory work is really all they have access to. It’s a reason why small rural towns die when the mine or factory shuts down.
I’d give them a pass pre-internet, but today? In the age were everything is connected, and russia wasn’t like NK which controls everything their citizens see, they have access to the Internet. Which at bare minimum gives them some views outside of the propaganda, they shouldn’t be this supportive of this war.
Unfortunately a large portion of the population supports the war and putin. Just look at the level of support just from russians living abroad. It’s most of their population that is all on board.
It increased because of the pandemic, which was an outlier year.
HOWEVER… The entire point of the amnesty, is to make it illegal for ownership of certain firearms, make them illegal to resell, etc., but you give people incentive to give up and make money from the ones they shouldn’t own
The issue is the antigun groups are targeting rifles. You know how many people are killed by rifles a year? 1.5-2.5k, this is all rifles and shotguns combined. You know how many people are killed by AR-15s a year? 50-100…yea the weapon of choice for murder here in the states is handguns. It’s not about keeping people safe, it’s about virtue signaling to their base.
Over time, you end up with far less guns in circulation.
Pandora’s box is open here. There is no closing it
That’s what happened here in Australia.
Not really, you all now have more guns in civ hands than before the ban. Ratio wise it’s less but that’s because you have more people.
You might still have a huge amount of firearms, but the aim isn’t to solve the problem overnight. But, it saves a huge amount of the problem immediately, and over time, it solves the issue…
Unless you plan on banning knives, which kill around 3.5k a year (yes that’s correct more than all rifles and shotguns combined) then it’s not about saving lives. It’s about saving certain lives.
It works… It worked for us. You’re playing the short game.
It worked for you, because you have safety nets. You don’t have a shit ton of gangs and drugs flowing through the streets. You don’t have cartels 4 foot from your boarder. You also don’t have the population size we do.
You’re trying to argue that unless the solution is 100%, it isn’t worth pursuing.
No, I’m arguing that it’s a solution that will not work for even 5%. As I have explained above, rifles which are the targets, make up basically nothing when it comes to firearm deaths. Yet they’re the constant focus. If we’re to fix our violence issue here in the USA, we need to help get people to stop being violent first.
No, but we have some of the most effective protection against shootings in the world. So it would be silly to ignore a working solution. We don’t have a lot of the things on that list
You have some major ones on that list. You for one don’t lock up everyone who is a non violent drug offender to the point that you create broken homes which fuels gang membership. You don’t have qualified immunity either, which here in the USA, 1 in 40 of our gun deaths is by the police. (Yes you read that correctly, the police here kill on average 1k Americans a year via firearms). You have single payer healthcare, you give a shit about your citizens and have safety nets. We lack so much that it drives our citizens into poverty and creates prime circumstances for violence.
You in Australia did not have anywhere near the firearms we have in civ hands. Even then, the forced confiscation you did only 60% turned in their firearms. You know what %60 leaves here in the states? Over 100 million firearms in civ hands.
The drug wars target mainly minorities which cause parents to go to jail, and kids to turn to gangs. It absolutely has an effect on our gun violence. Which the mass majority of our violence comes from is gang related, not random shootings like you hear in the news.
Correct. The majority of our prison is non violent drug offenders, who lose their children, which end up in bad situations…which cause some of them to turn to gangs for that family role. It’s a cycle that feeds violence, and the most fucked up part, is it drastically effects minorities more than anyone else.
Even just single payer would drastically help our citizens health
Welcome to “bigotry 101”…o it says your trans here…denied…o you have adhd…denied… depression…denied…ptsd from a previous rape…denied.
Absolutely! Add in maternity/paternity leave that allows the parents to bond with their child for at least 6 months.
Yea I wrote that in the AM without my brain having been fully awake lol fixed the formating cause that was a hot mess to read.
If the dems had a spine they’d use their antigun capital on getting single payer passed. It would probably cut gun deaths in half alone.
Here I’ll fix our problem
Pay teachers more
Build more schools to reduce class sizes
Make sure all kids have access to school food 3 meals a day
Single payer healthcare
Increased mental healthcare facilities and workers so kids don’t turn to suicide
Improve safety nets
End the war on drugs
End for profit prison system
End qualified immunity
Hey look gun violence has dropped like a hot rock…
But no please keep doing the same shit and spend political capital on shit a very large portion of the usa doesn’t want.
Or … stop working for religious institutions that have policies like this
Mobile wise it doesn’t. And as I’ve said already, forums are designed for prolonged discussion. These scroller style mediums are good for short timeframe discussions.
